Glossary
Biodiesel - a renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils or animal fats
Bioethanol – ethanol produced from plants such as sugar cane or maize, a renewable alternative to petrol
Biomass – biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms
Bioplastic – plastics derived from renewable biomass sources eg vegetable fats & oils,
Bitumen – black viscous residue from crude oil distillation, used for road surfacing and roofing
Boiling point - the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapour
Combustion – the process of burning something, a chemical reaction that involves the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen
Condensation – water droplets from when steam turns to water
Condense – a gas turning to a liquid
Covalent bond - a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms
Crude oil – a mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbons otherwise known as petroleum
Diesel oil – the fraction of crude oil commonly used to fuel cars, trucks and buses
Distillate – liquid collected as a result of the technique called distillation
Distillation – the process of separating a liquid from a solution by evaporating the liquid and then condensing it
Ethanol – Ethyl alcohol, present in alcoholic drinks, also used as a solvent and as a fuel
Evaporate – turn a liquid into a gas
Evaporation – liquid turning into a gas
Flammability - is the ability of a substance to burn or ignite, causing fire or combustion
Fossil fuels - natural fuels such as coal, gas or crude oil, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms.
Fracking - the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas or oil inside
Fractional distillation - separation of a liquid mixture into fractions differing in boiling point by means of distillation, typically using a fractionating column.
Fractionating column – apparatus in which crude oil is evaporated in and its vapours allowed to condense at different temperatures to separate the different fractions
Fuel oil – the fraction of oil obtained from crude oil commonly used to fuel ships
Hydrocarbon – an organic compound consisting of only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms
Ignite - catch fire or cause to catch fire
Kerosene – the fraction of crude oil commonly used to fuel aircraft
Mixture – More than one type of stuff mixed together (eg orange juice, air, salty water)
Natural gas - a hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly includes varying amounts of other higher alkanes
Naptha – the fraction of crude oil commonly used to make chemicals
Nuclear fuel - is a material that can be 'burned' by nuclear fission or fusion to produce nuclear energy
Oil fraction – a group of hydrocarbon compounds that have similar boiling points
Particulates – very small particles given off by burning of some fuels that can remain suspended in atmosphere for long periods
Petrol – or Gasoline – the fraction of crude oil commonly used in cars
Physical properties – How something looks, feels, behaves (eg hard, shiny, bendy)
Pure substance – Just one type of stuff (eg gold)
Recycle – to convert waste into re-usable material
Residue – Solid that remains in the filter paper when a mixture has been filtered
Saturated – Solution that will dissolve no more solid at that temperature (or in molecular Chemistry a compound that has no double or triple bonds)
Soluble – a substance that can be dissolved
Solute – a substance that is dissolved in a liquid
Solution – a mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent
Solvent – a liquid that substances can be dissolved in
Suspension – Insoluble material that “hangs” in the solvent and settles if the mixture is left to stand
Temperature – a measure of how hot or cold a substance is, temperature depends on fast the particles inside the substance are moving. It is measured in degrees Celsius
Tidal energy – a form of hydropower that converts the energy of the tides into electricity or other useful forms of power
Uranium - a dense grey radioactive metal used as a fuel in nuclear reactors.
Vapour – gas state
Viscosity - a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow
Volatile – easily evaporated at normal temperatures
Bioethanol – ethanol produced from plants such as sugar cane or maize, a renewable alternative to petrol
